What to do if you suspect your identity has been stolen

If you think you are the victim of identity theft, contact the fraud departments of each of the three major credit bureaus and report your identity has been stolen. File a report with your local police or the police where the identity theft took place. Get a copy of the report in case the bank, credit card company, or others need proof of the crime.

For any accounts that have been fraudently accessed or opened, contact the security departments of the appropriate creditors or financial institutions. Close these accounts. Put passwords on any new accounts you open.
